Seguir a Jesus

Por Bíblia Online –

Seguir a Jesus é o convite mais transformador da Bíblia. Jesus chamou pescadores, cobradores de impostos e pessoas comuns para deixar tudo e segui-lo. Esse chamado continua vivo hoje.

O chamado de Jesus

Jesus disse: 'Segue-me'. Esse convite simples e poderoso mudou a vida de pescadores, publicanos e pessoas comuns ao longo da história.

19 and he saith to them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men,20 and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him.

9 And Jesus passing by thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, named Matthew, and saith to him, Be following me, and he, having risen, did follow him.

43 On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, Be following me.

57 And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;58 and Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.59 And he said unto another, Be following me; and he said, Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;60 and Jesus said to him, Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.61 And another also said, I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;62 and Jesus said unto him, No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.

O custo do discipulado

Seguir a Jesus exige renúncia. É preciso tomar a cruz diariamente, deixar tudo para trás e amar a Cristo acima de qualquer outro vínculo.

24 Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me,

26 If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple;27 and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.

28 And Peter began to say to him, Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.29 And Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news,30 who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during;31 and many first shall be last, and the last first.

Caminhar com Cristo

Quem segue a Jesus não anda em trevas, mas tem a luz da vida. Ele nos convida a crescer nele e a servir como Ele serviu.

12 Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.

26 if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.

21 for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,22 who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,23 who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,

15 and, being true in love, we may increase to Him [in] all things, who is the head -- the Christ;

4 My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I [am] Jehovah your God;
